Classic CTR With Modern Features
My favorite part of this new Crash Team Racing is being able to set the game to “Classic” in adventure mode and play the game like the original CTR on the Playstation 1. In “Classic” mode you still unlock all the characters and stickers and vehicle parts as you play, but you don’t get offered to “Customize” after every race. You also get to play with the original difficulty slider through the adventure mode, meaning it scales from Easy to Hard has the game progresses; the new format does not do this and makes you select a single difficulty for the entire adventure.The number of tracks and characters is awesome. Featuring every track from the original two titles, completely upgraded visually. You will not be disappointed with the amount of options and customization you have, and when you first start you will find yourself unlocking items very consistently. You wont have to get an hour in before you start getting the goods, they throw them at you after almost every race if you place high enough.The AI is my main problem with the title. That being said, I have yet to find a cart-racer that has solved this problem. In Mario Kart, the game is balanced by item drops. Characters in the back will get more items that negatively effect leading players in a bid to close the gap. CTR, however, uses classic “rubber-banding” to slingshot a single AI hyper-fast to your position instead. This typically happens immediately when the 3rd lap starts, and the AI can get a character from 10 or so seconds behind to less than 1 before the race is over. This can make the game feel extremely cheap. You can be a quarter of a lap ahead and watch a single character break away from the pack and catch up to you. Honestly, I haven’t seen rubber-banding this bad since Tradewest’s “Championship Pro-Am” on the Sega Genesis. That is not to say that the AI makes the game bad, or detracts from the fun. If you could win every race by a half lap there would be no point in having AI anyways. It’s just a very strange option to take when it comes to competitive AI in 2019.The multiplayer is the hottest part of the game. It really brings me back to the classic days of couch parties. You can play 4-player split screen races, and you also have the option of taking the game online; which is a fantastic addition. I played a couple online races and the net-code seemed relatively stable.My only other complaint is the fact you can buy the in-game currency to unlock items. Any time I see a company do this I know they nerfed the amount you get in game to entice you to pay real money for it. While I would rather they only had in-game currency with no ties to real world money, I understand this is a way for them to continue adding content to the title. Whether they actually make good on adding content will be for us to see in the future.Overall, this is a solid pickup. payed sub $30USD for it and have gotten loads of enjoyment from it already.

Fun Family Time
My husband got a Logitech racing wheel for Christmas and I wanted to load him up with racing games. This was not it. It’s not compatible with the wheel, but we did find out it was a lot of fun.It reminded us of a game we loved when we had the DreamCast. Space Race. It’s just a lot of fun to play with the family.Everyone has the opportunity to have a fun character and pick out their vehicle. Once that’s established, it’s on to the race! The load time was a little slow, but the game was fast and fun. You can pick up trucks and traps to launch on your fellow team mates to slow them down. Now is you chance to get ahead and win the race, but watch out for their explosions and tricks! They can launch traps on you!

Cool!!!! Got it on time. New and no problems at all. Thanks 👍

Llegó bien el juego, sellado y con el disco intacto, sin rayones o raspadas. Funcionó bien a la hora de jugarlo.En cuanto a la crítica del juego, pues es un juego para niños (por así decirlo), lo compré para que mis sobrinos tengan algo que jugar cuando vengan a la casa.Si quieren ver la jugabilidad y todo eso, hay muchas reseñas en YouTube. Neta que el que compra un juego en pleno 2020 y sale con que no era lo que esperaba, es porque no investigó antes de comprarlo.Pero lo que he jugado, está bueno para pasar el rato, claro que no le llega a Mario kart, pero tiene lo suyo.Lo que más me gustó es que puedes jugar hasta 4 jugadores en pantalla dividida local, que eso es raro hoy en día.

Love, love, love it. But more racing tracks would be handy.
